## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat keeps durable rows for provider actions and setup messages.
> - Five action queues still scan the database every second when empty.
> - Empty scans add idle database traffic and prevent cost savings from
sleep.
> - This pull request wakes these queues when their writes commit or
their next deadline arrives.
> - Existing rows retain retry and restart recovery. Empty queues stop
scanning.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #15802, #15625, #15750, #15757. Related allocation work: #15153.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Idle chat reconciliation for Slack Board messages, Slack slash-command
task starts, Slack setup verification messages, receipt reactions, and
Slack session stops.
**Current behavior**
The app runs these five queue scans through chat maintenance every
second, including when no work exists.
**Proposed behavior**
Each queue has an independent worker on the existing scheduler.
Producers and foreground claim/retry/settlement writes announce work
inside their database transaction. The worker wakes after the outer
transaction settles. Startup restores durable work. Shared dispatch and
deadline predicates select real retries and abandoned claims. Empty
queues disarm.
**Subsystem affected**
Server chat services. No schema or migration changes.
## What Changed
- Register five action workers alongside the three delivery workers from
#15802. Remove their scans from periodic app maintenance.
- Share action eligibility between dispatch and deadline selection. Park
paused Board messages and task starts until endpoint changes. Preserve
uncertain-send quarantine.
- Wake setup verification after account, welcome, registration, or
authenticated callback changes. Exclude prerequisites that need another
event.
- Persist a retry time for failed provider-confirmed task admission. Its
own commit notification cannot cause an immediate retry loop.
- Reuse the existing transaction signals and scheduler registration
code. Provider calls remain outside database transactions.
- Update the instance-sleep inventory and add scheduler and PostgreSQL
regression coverage.
## Verification
- Passed: 37 scheduler, coordinator, and app-wiring tests, including an
idle hour with no further scans or timers.
- Passed: seven focused PostgreSQL chat cases. These cover deadline
eligibility, startup recovery, outer-commit wakes, actual producer
signals, and signed-callback verification without maintenance polling.
- Passed: `pnpm typecheck`.
- Passed: full chat integration suite and related
publication/coordinator tests, **1,278 tests** across six files,
including **1,228 chat integration cases**.
- Passed: `pnpm build`.
- After the review fix, seven focused PostgreSQL integration cases and
the server typecheck passed again. Deadline and dispatch queries now
exclude completed action history.
- Greptile: **5/5** on `35a979fce6bb9ab910fab3373ec8e537fc2d01a9`, with
the prior finding resolved and no new findings.
- Fixed a CI timing failure in the GitHub mention integration test:
asynchronous admission now has an explicit ten-second assertion deadline
instead of the default one second. The failure reproduced locally; all
five mention variants and all 398 cases in the matching CI shard pass
after the fix.
- Hosted CI passed on `35a979fce6bb9ab910fab3373ec8e537fc2d01a9`: **54
successful checks**, two intentionally skipped Storybook checks, no
failures or pending checks.
Provider responses are simulated in the integration suite. PostgreSQL,
transactions, service dispatch, and scheduling are real. No live Slack
workspace was used.
## Risks
- Every producer that changes runnable state must emit a transaction
signal. This change covers the five queues and their foreground
dispatch/retry paths. Direct SQL and independent DB owners still need
explicit integration or startup recovery.
- Missing retry or claim deadlines can strand work. Tests compare the
dispatch and deadline behavior, including paused and uncertain states.
- Other provider maintenance, sockets, and scheduled jobs remain. This
change does not establish full instance sleep.
- No new tables, migrations, or provider credentials are required.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with repository inspection, code execution, and
automated tests.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Human messages start agent work through task, chat, and
external-channel intake.
> - Agent startup can delay the first visible response.
> - A small direct model call can acknowledge the request while normal
work starts.
> - This response must remain separate from evidence that the agent
answered or completed work.
> - This pull request adds optional company-wide fast responses with
durable receipts, access checks, and cost accounting.
> - Users receive prompt acknowledgement without changing the agent
execution path.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: database, shared contracts, server orchestration,
connections, and UI.
**Problem or motivation**
Users can wait for an agent to start before they receive a contextual
response. Generic progress messages do not confirm what the user asked.
An acknowledgement must not falsely complete work or satisfy an
unanswered turn.
**Proposed solution**
Add a disabled-by-default experimental fast-response model using an
existing shared API connection. Generate one short acknowledgement for
each accepted human turn. Use the existing agent identity and external
publication outboxes. Retain platform provenance and account for the
inference independently.
**Alternatives considered**
Running the acknowledgement through the agent runtime adds startup
latency. Restricting implementation to OpenRouter leaves other existing
API connections unsupported. This change supports all existing API
connections and uses OpenRouter for live verification.
**Roadmap alignment**
This extends existing agent communication and connection settings.
ROADMAP.md and open pull requests were checked. No duplicate
fast-response implementation was found. The maintainer supplied the
feature plan directly.
## What Changed
- Add Experimental fast responses to instance settings. Keep the feature
off by default. Enforce the flag at intake, dispatch, and publication.
- Move Decision model and Fast response setup to company Settings →
Connections when the experiment is enabled. Place Connections below
Environments. Separate the model sections with clear headings and a
divider. Keep Decision model in General when the experiment is off.
Route Costs setup links to the available settings page.
- Make the acknowledgement prompt a multiline template string. Ask for a
brief, positive response in the user’s language.
- Add settings, connection/model selection, sponsorship, fixed-sample
testing, and Costs history.
- Add a Vercel AI SDK text service for existing native, routed, Bedrock,
and local API connections.
- Add durable per-turn requests, a bounded worker, a three-second
admission deadline, and one inference attempt.
- Integrate task creation, task and agent chat, steering, queued
follow-ups, experimental board chat, shared chat intake, and email.
- Preserve receipt provenance and exclude receipts from completion,
recovery, interaction resolution, and agent wakeups.
- Recheck authorization, source validity, real replies, budgets, and
destination binding before publication. Preserve accounting for
suppressed or uncertain outcomes.
- Add provider contracts, database race tests, channel outbox tests, UI
tests, Stories, and documentation. Keep decision-model execution
unchanged.
## Verification
- Local `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and UI token gates pass after
rebase. The UI typecheck and build also pass after the final navigation
fixes. All 37 focused navigation tests pass. The first full local `pnpm
test:run` invocation reported seven chat failures. All seven passed in
isolated reruns after fixture updates and host cleanup. This invocation
was stopped after the full final-head CI suite passed.
- Initial local database tests hit macOS shared-memory exhaustion. A
diagnostic confirmed `shmget: No space left on device` with the system
limit of 32 IDs. Three abandoned, unattached PostgreSQL IPC headers were
reclaimed. The isolated rerun passed all 31 fast-response and channel
tests. The two additional Slack regression cases also passed in a
separate rerun. No active database was stopped.
- UI token gates pass. Provider contract tests cover all supported API
connection types. Fast-response tests cover uniqueness, authorization,
budgets, expiry, cancellation, restart, real-reply races, and the
experimental flag.
- The test drive verified that disabling the experiment hides
Connections and redirects its direct URL. Enabling it restores the saved
OpenRouter setup. After restart on the final commit, the OpenRouter
settings sample returned “Sure, I’ll take care of fixing the border
around the settings panel.” in 428 ms. It used 260 input and 31 output
tokens and recorded $0.0000576 in reported cost.
- Earlier live OpenRouter verification produced a receipt in 1.013
seconds for a new task. The real agent then supplied its substantive
answer. A separate settings test took 1.34 seconds, used 246 input and
23 output tokens, and recorded $0.0000361.
- Live Slack verification on final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` passed for a fresh initial
task and a follow-up in a disposable bot DM. The initial acknowledgement
appeared 2.405 seconds after the Slack message and 1.413 seconds after
durable acceptance; the follow-up appeared in 2.322 seconds and 1.160
seconds respectively. The recorded generation/settlement durations were
898 ms and 697 ms. The initial call used 291 input / 39 output tokens
and cost $0.00006705; the follow-up used 281 / 47 and cost $0.00007035.
- The Slack acknowledgements retained the assigned agent identity and
`origin: fast_response`, source-turn references, and no fabricated run
ID. A status snapshot after the initial receipt showed the task still
`in_progress` with its real execution run. The agent then read the CSV
fixture and correctly reported two ready items, two blockers, and their
owners. Both replies stayed in the originating DM, and no duplicate
generic working message followed the delivered contextual
acknowledgements. The `new` command started a fresh conversation session
without generating a fast response.
- An earlier eligible Slack turn generated a response but suppressed
publication. Its reported cost was retained, generic progress remained,
and the real agent completed the requested result. This is recorded
separately from the two delivered acknowledgements; the history did not
expose a precise suppression reason.
- Slack verification used real signed provider events, the existing
intake/publication paths, and a user-approved temporary webhook-only
HTTPS tunnel. Subscriptions were limited to direct-message events. The
test bot was paused and the tunnel stopped afterward. Live
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified; their mocked
tests cover intake, destination binding, publication, and continued
underlying work.
- Greptile reviewed final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` at 5/5. Both new review
findings are fixed and all threads are resolved. [Final-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38060015730)
passed. This includes grouped server/chat/workspace tests, serialized
suites, runner checks, browser journeys, typecheck, build, release
registry, policy, and the canary dry run.
- Manual check: enable Experimental fast responses. Open company
Settings → Connections. Select a shared API connection and model. Save
and use Test response. Submit a task message and confirm that its
receipt does not complete the task.
## Risks
- The migration adds receipt and configuration tables plus accounting
references. It uses idempotent statements and follows the current
migration sequence.
- A slow provider, authorization change, or real-agent reply can
suppress an acknowledgement. Existing progress feedback remains
available.
- Unknown provider billing retains a reservation until reconciliation.
External deliveries with uncertain outcomes must not be blindly
repeated.
- Live Slack initial-task and follow-up DM journeys pass. Live Slack
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified. The PR
remains a draft and records these gaps. Final-head repository CI and
automated review pass.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose an exact
model snapshot ID or context-window size; these are not asserted.

Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service prepares the workspace and dispatches each
agent run.
> - After the runtime extraction, `heartbeat.ts` still had 6,417 lines.
> - Workspace setup occupied one contiguous 857-line block inside
`executeRun`.
> - This pull request moves that block into one workspace preparation
module.
> - The executor keeps dispatch gates and terminal cleanup. Reviewers
can inspect workspace setup as one phase.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #15803 and #15578. This continues the heartbeat refactor series.
The search found no open duplicate workspace preparation extraction.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
It makes heartbeat workspace preparation easier to maintain. It does not
change the workspace policy or execution behavior.
**Current behavior**
`executeRun` contains workspace resolution, freshness decisions,
provisioning, persistence, issue binding, environment acquisition, and
realization inline.
**Proposed behavior**
`prepareHeartbeatWorkspace` owns that sequence in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`. `heartbeat.ts`
calls it at the same point and uses its returned workspace, lease,
target, and metadata.
**Reason and benefit**
The main file falls from 6,417 to 5,597 lines. The workspace phase has a
typed boundary and direct regression tests.
**Breaking changes**
None. There are no schema, API, feature-flag, or execution-policy
changes.
## What Changed
- Extract the 857-line workspace preparation block without changing its
operations or their order.
- Preserve native recovery bindings, workspace persistence failure
cleanup, issue rebinding after realization, and the cloned restore
lease.
- Keep environment selection, dispatch admission, terminalization, and
final lease release in `heartbeat.ts`.
- Add 12 boundary tests with disposable PostgreSQL, real Git
repositories, and real local environment leases.
- Make the existing Stop and plan-only recovery tests await executor
completion instead of short polling deadlines. Assert exactly one
continuation for the specific plan-only source run.
- Keep server-only Node preload hooks out of the deterministic process
adapter used by Stop browser acceptance.
- Refresh workspace recovery browser acceptance for the current task
composer, and give its disposable test-drive an explicit 10-second
snapshot deadline. Production snapshot settings stay unchanged.
- Document the workspace preparation boundary in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.
## Verification
- AST comparison: all 857 moved lines match the original block. The
remaining module body differs only at the extraction call.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Focused regression coverage: 651 distinct cases across eight suites
passed across targeted runs, including all 12 new boundary tests. The
complete 400-test recovery suite passed together on the final commit.
- Workspace bootstrap browser acceptance: both journeys passed (4.2
minutes), including preserved source edits, ignored-file exclusion,
bounded retries, and persistence across reload.
- Stop/queue browser acceptance: both process and native runner journeys
passed (2.2 minutes), covering queueing, Stop, subtree pause/cancel,
resume, and unrelated-task isolation.
- [Full repository
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38062408589):
all 47 jobs passed, including the general and serialized test suites,
eight browser shards, build, typecheck, native runner checks, and canary
dry run.
- The local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted to prioritize the recovery
regression; the complete repository suite was verified in CI.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `c28e698b885cf5fd12f36f7b4052e7a2e6f879d7`, with no
open review threads.
## Risks
- This code writes durable workspace bindings and acquires environment
leases. A changed operation order could break recovery or cleanup after
partial setup. The extraction preserves the original statements and
exception boundaries.
- The new tests cover creation, reuse, immutable recovery bindings,
persistence failure, acquisition and realization failure, controller
ownership loss, isolation, execution policy, and lease snapshot
independence.
- Browser acceptance uses real application services with deterministic
local workers and a fake Codex protocol provider. It does not qualify
live cloud providers.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, shell execution, and test
tools. The exact serving model identifier and context-window size are
not exposed in this session.
